can you tell us about your experience? >> there were a lot of anticipation about how people would respond. at first, we had to get in front of people to direct them from their habits. early morning, they are more into carrying their coffee and going inside of the elevator and then spilling their coffee to hit the keys. we got right in front of them, stopped them and told them exactly what they had to do. that helped out a lot. the other thing that helped were the lights in the lobby would tell them where the elevator was. a lot of these systems have not done that. we were the first to do that. the nice thing is we've got less spills in the lobby, too. you get into the elevator in the morning, and somebody is standing in front of the buttons and you cannot get to it. people are fighting each other, spilling coffee and stuff, so this works out well. once you get inside, you are going to the floor that you have already decided on the outside. it really helped traffic flow and security as well. >> would you say your experience

and how is strange fruit used in that film? well, this is a very good example of hollywood rewriting history and really the kind of crime it is to rewrite history and to play around with the facts. i mean, the film is the kind of thing that makes me very angry. i mean, the way that diana ross represented billie holiday is one question, and that's an artistic question. i don't fault her for that or the people who made the film. i think that, you know, diana ross was not billie holiday, but then again, i don't think even diana ross would make such a claim. but the misrepresentation of the facts of strange fruit, i think, are really unforgivable. what happened in the movie-- and i'm sure that there are people out there who remember the scene in the movie-- she's on a bus, touring in the south sometime in the 1930s with her band, and she gets off the bus to relieve herself. and she walks over a hill, and there's this procession, this sort of procession of bedraggled-looking, poor african americans. i think there's a horse and cart
